Chapter 49
Lan Shuqing turned around and Fu Xiaoqian followed. Before leaving, she glanced at Jiang Bai again. Lan Shuqing didn't react to Jiang Bai and just walked forward. Fu Xiaoqian had no choice but to wave to Jiang Bai and then followed Lan Shuqing.
Li Guan touched his nose, went in by himself, and ignored Ye Ze.
Ye Ze and Jiang Bai stood there. Ye Ze nodded slightly at Jiang Bai and turned to leave.
Jiang Bai didn't care. She watched Fu Xiaoqian and Lan Shuqing walk away, then she raised her foot and followed them.
She wasn't following, but the campus shuttle bus stopped right there.
"Shu Qing, when did you get to know that young lady?"
Fu Xiaoqian's gossip fire was burning at this moment. She held Lan Shuqing with one hand and touched her face with the other. "Besides, the young lady is quite pretty. She looks very gentle and her smile is also very gentle..."
"As expected, good-looking people tend to be friends with other good-looking people..."
Lan Shu glanced at Fu Xiaoqian lightly, "Really?"
Fu Xiaoqian nodded, "Exactly, don't you think?"
Lan Shu thought about it and realized that it was true.
Fu Xiaoqian looked back and saw Jiang Bai following behind them. She turned back and pulled Lan Shuqing, "Hey, Shuqing, she's following us."
Lan Shuqing also looked back and met Jiang Bai's gaze. Jiang Bai smiled. Lan Shuqing stopped and Fu Xiaoqian also stopped. When Jiang Bai walked over to them, Lan Shuqing frowned, "Why are you following us?"
Jiang Bai felt a little uncomfortable being looked down upon by Lan Shu. She smoothed her hair and looked away, "I didn't. I just wanted to take a bus."
"What car?"
Jiang Bai pointed with his right hand. There was a small intersection about ten meters away. It was the shuttle bus station. "That one."
Lan Shu raised his chin lightly and said, "Then you go over there."
Jiang Bai blinked, pretending not to understand, "Huh?"
Lan Shuqing didn't fall for her tricks and just looked at her without saying a word. Jiang Bai was defeated and said weakly, "Okay." Then he walked slowly to the other side, looking back at Lan Shuqing as he walked. He looked a little pitiful.
Fu Xiaoqian was stunned. Was the Lan Shuqing she knew such a childish person? Wasn't Lan Shuqing the elegant, intelligent, calm, and thoughtful heroine? When did she become so childish and petty?
Seeing Jiang Bai walk to the other side obediently, Lan Shuqing turned sideways to Xiaoqian and said, "Let's go."
Fu Xiaoqian followed Lan Shuqing and glanced at her several times, "Shuqing, you haven't told me when you two met yet?"
Lan Shuqing recalled and answered casually: "High school..."
"High school?" Fu Xiaoqian was surprised again. "So long? What year of high school was it? Aren't you from City A? Is that girl from City A too? How did she end up at Peking University?"
Lan Shuqing didn't know how to answer question after question. Finally, she said, "Xiaoqian, you're so noisy today."
Fu Xiaoqian's eyes widened. "Hey? Lan Shuqing, who came to your rescue? You actually said I was noisy?!"
"Answer my questions honestly, or I won't help you next time!"
"Don't ask anymore. Let's go quickly, or the cafeteria will run out of food..."
"I'm telling you, don't change the subject..."
Jiang Bai walked opposite, watching Lan Shuqing and Fu Xiaoqian slowly walk away, then sighed softly.
After that day, Jiang Bai entered a busy period again, working overtime even on weekends, with little rest time.
But she was still thinking about Lan Shuqing's participation in the translation competition, which should be the translation competition she saw on the roll-up banner that day.
The first phase of the project has passed and it has entered the second phase. The second phase will be launched in two months. Jiang Bai can only spare one afternoon on Saturday to go to Peking University to watch.
There was a break at noon during the game. Jiang Bai had a simple lunch and rushed to Peking University, arriving just outside the conference hall before the game started.
but!
She was not a student of Kyoto University. There were students checking tickets at the door, and she didn't have a ticket, so she couldn't get in.
At this time, the contestants must have been waiting inside for a long time.
So she could only linger at the door.
So the female college student checking tickets at the door looked at her several times.
So Jiang Bai had no choice but to leave, but after taking a few steps, he felt a little unwilling.
Really, just a little bit.
She just, just wanted to see Lan Shuqing.
So Jiang Bai walked back and sat on the stone bench outside in a daze.
Just when Jiang Bai was thinking about what to do, Ye Ze appeared.
Jiang Bai and Ye Ze were not familiar with each other, and she originally wanted to pretend not to know him and leave, but Ye Ze stood in front of her and politely invited her to have afternoon tea.
Jiang Bai refused, and then Ye Ze started to talk about Lan Shuqing. "There's a very quiet coffee shop in the outer courtyard. I'm sure you'd also like to know what Shuqing has been up to these past few years?"
Hearing this, Jiang Bai's heart sank slightly. Even though the other party appeared gentle and polite, yet secretly harbored a coercive look, Jiang Bai was not afraid. "Okay."
She wanted to see what Ye Ze was up to. She had thought he was kind and gentle, but now it seemed that he wasn't that good.
As Ye Ze said, this coffee shop was indeed very quiet. In the afternoon, there was basically no one there except the waiters. The two of them chose a seat closer to the wall.
"I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be in Beijing too," Ye Ze spoke first. "I saw Miss Jiang at the last exchange meeting and wanted to meet her alone. Luckily, we ran into each other today."
In front of Lan Shuqing, Jiang Bai was a weak little lamb, but in front of others, Jiang Bai still had the aura she should have. She leaned back in her chair, looking at Ye Ze calmly, her eyes calm, and her words very politely, "Mr. Ye, did you ask me out just to talk about this?"
She didn't mind practicing Tai Chi with Ye Ze, but it was a waste of time.
Neither of them drank any of the coffee they ordered.
Ye Ze smiled and said, "Shu Qing and Miss Jiang used to get along well. I'm just a little curious. What was Miss Jiang thinking when she approached Shu Qing?"
She simply took a fancy to Shu Qing's family background and wanted to use her sisterhood to climb up the social ladder.
Ye Ze had seen many people like this. He looked up at Jiang Bai with a gentle expression, but the contempt in his eyes was very obvious. If Lan Shuqing didn't really treat Jiang Bai as a friend, Ye Ze would not have bothered to make this trip.
But Lan Shuqing will be his sooner or later, and Jiang Bai's presence is very annoying. It was like this three years ago and it is still like this today.
Jiang Bai sensed the unspoken meaning in the words and laughed, "In your eyes, is Lan Shuqing used as a measure of value?"
The smile on Ye Ze's face froze for a moment, and he said in a gentle tone, "How could that be? In my eyes, Shu Qing is unique."
Jiang Bai smiled and did not comment on this.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Ze likes Lan Shuqing, but at the moment, it is hard to say how much other things are mixed into this liking.
Unexpectedly, his questioning had no effect on Jiang Bai. Ye Ze only felt that Jiang Bai's smile was very dazzling. He smiled again, "Miss Jiang should know that Shu Qing is a very outstanding girl."
Jiang Bai nodded, "I know, and then what?"
"I'm afraid Miss Jiang can't even dream of such a person."
Ye Ze's words were full of warnings, and even his eyes became dangerous.
Jiang Bai paused, then said, "I'm curious, in what capacity did Mr. Ye tell me this?"
As Lan Shuqing's mother, Li Liyue can warn Jiang Bai, but what can Ye Ze do?
Jiang Bai rested his chin on one hand and said leisurely, "If I'm not mistaken, Lan Shuqing rejected you before, right? How dare Mr. Ye say this to me? Hmm?"
Just look at the conversation between Lan Shuqing and Ye Ze that day and you will know that Lan Shuqing has never liked Ye Ze.
The smile on Ye Ze's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked a little gloomy and paranoid, "Jiang Bai!"
Jiang Bai scratched his ears and said, "A dog doesn't need to bark so loudly. Anyone can hear it."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bai refused to be persuaded by his soft words. The anger in Ye Ze's eyes almost burst out, but then he thought that Jiang Bai was just a woman, and he sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you think of Shu Qing. Don't be so wishful thinking."
Jiang Bai laughed again, "Mr. Ye, you keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Aren't you tired of it?"
Ye Ze glanced at her and said, "The Lan and Ye families are old friends. How can an ordinary person like you compare to them? You have nothing but still want to cling to Shu Qing. Only I am worthy of Shu Qing."
"Sooner or later, Shu Qing will marry me willingly!"
I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen someone this self-righteous. Jiang Bai leaned back in his chair, his calm gaze fixed on Ye Ze. He spoke incessantly, "So what if we're family friends? So what if we're from the Ye family? Lan Shuqing doesn't like you at all. Do you think her parents will hand her over to you just like that?"
"Don't you even look at yourself? Do you think you're a child of destiny just because you got into Kyoto University?"
Since visiting Peking University, Jiang Bai has heard a lot of rumors about Peking University students, and Ye Ze is really nothing among them.
Ye Ze's face turned pale. He didn't expect Jiang Bai to dare to provoke him like this. "Jiang Bai, you're just a student from a second-rate crappy school, and you dare to say that to me?!"
Jiang Bai smiled when he heard this, "Just say it, you really can't get a place here."
Ye Ze clenched his hands on his knees into fists, his eyes dark. Jiang Bai's words completely angered him. He suddenly laughed as he thought of something. "It doesn't matter. Shu Qing will be mine sooner or later. When the time comes..."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up, picked up the coffee and splashed it on Ye Ze's face with a cold expression. "Ye Ze, I think you've been in the well for so long that even a frog has turned into a scabby worm. You should stay at the bottom of the well for the rest of your life. Every dog that passes by has to pee on it so you can see how disgusting your face is!"
The cold coffee was sticky on his face and body. Ye Ze was dumbfounded. He had always been praised by others since he was a child. Even in Peking University, he was considered excellent. But one day, someone would throw coffee on him.
Ye Ze stood up suddenly, his face ashen, and raised his hand to hit him.
Jiang Bai was no pushover. She grabbed Ye Ze's wrist and swung it back with force, "You want to hit me?"
Jiang Bai pointed at Ye Ze's nose and said, "Stay away from Lan Shuqing from now on, or I won't be polite!"
After warning Ye Ze, Jiang Bai walked away. How could a worthless person come to warn her? Lan Shuqing was her own, so why did Ye Ze morally blackmail her?
Moreover, his words were full of value and family friendship. Lan Shuqing was not a commodity to be traded, and he even said that Lan Shuqing would be his sooner or later. It was so disgusting!
The more Jiang Bai thought about it, the angrier she became. She wished she could go back and beat Ye Ze up again. She opened the glass door and was about to leave when her eyes flickered to see two girls playing crickets nearby.
Jiang Bai couldn't do anything about it. She just let him see it. She was still angry.
